Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present the application of complex systems architecting approach in the development of the digital twin through a use case of an industrial process: phosphate mining site of Benguérir. We introduce the digital twin concept and its influence on the development of manufacturing processes. Further, we present the complex systems engineering approach and its added value to the design and the manipulation of systems with a higher level of complexity, and how this approach allows designing a digital twin model of the mining site. Previous work undertook the digital twin concept and its benefits on industry without mentioning an efficient method to develop it. To realize our vision to design the digital twin of the mining site of Benguérir, we used SysML diagrams to model the solution based on the three visions of the complex systems engineering: the operational vision, the functional vision and the constructional vision.
